Summary

Michael Moynihan of The Fifth Column podcast returns to break down Europe’s immigration crisis and how right-wing parties are addressing concerns that classic moderates will not.

And Donald Trump reacts to a midair collision with a critique of diversity initiatives—all of which were in place during his first administration.
